A Cock Fight.

A large crowd OF people went out to
the race-track yesterday to witness
the cock-fght which was announced
to take place. They were prepared to
see some good sport, but departed
poorly satisfied with the show.
Messrs. Mason and Valpe appeared in
the pit each carefully nursing their
birds. The former proved to be the
possessor of a well-bred game-cock,
but the latter's bird was simply big
shanghai. A large "slasher" about
three inches in length was mounted to
their legs. When the blades were ad-
iusted the birds were tossed into the
pit and Immediately got to work. At
the first "fy" the shanghai ran his
"slasher" up to the hilt into the game
cock, and he fell to the ground life
less bunch OF feathers. Considerable
disappointment was manifested by the
crowd, many of whom lost their
money by betting on the game-cock, /,
thinking that they had "dead thing"
which they had.

Another Great Well.

Mr.. w. L. Youle was in the city
yesterday, from Puente. He reports
we'll No. 8, at depth OF 700 feet, to be
flowing oil of gravity Of 81 degrees,
Just the grade for refining into illum-
mating oil. The well appears to be
about 75-barrel well, with an enor-
NOUS amount of gas, which is used for
fuel. Why cannot Mr. Youle be in
duced to bore some gas wells in this
city, where fuel is SO dear? He is a
lucky man, who has bored fifty wells
on this coast for oil and water and
cever made miss yet. Natural gas
is abundant beneath this city, and
ought to be brought out and utilized.
Mr.. Youle promises to prepare sam
pies of petroleum for the great fair at
st. Louis. He will furnish the crude
oil Of various gravitles, and also some
that has been refined at Puente sta
tion for Illuminating purposes.

A FOOL AND HER PISTOL.
Two Officers, Narrow Escape
From Death.

Shortly after s O'Clock last evening
as Officers Collins and Afford had Just
reached their beat and were standing
on Los Angeles street they were startled
by the report of a pistol Immediately
followed by another shot. They ran
to the corner at Wilmington and Re-
quena streets, where they stood.
They saw the front door of house
open, in which stood a man and II
woman. Collins sang out, "Who is
doing this shooting" Their reply
came in the shape of IL third shot,
which whizzed past the officers heads
They rushed up the stoop and placed
both under arrest. AS they were de-
parting with their prisoners they OBJ
served tramp sneaking out of the al
ley. They gathered him in too. At
the city prison large crowd of people
congregated as the prisoners passed in.
Inside the woman, who gave the
name of Mrs. H. Bradley, eN-
planned that for some time past
their neighborhood has been infested
with tramps. They have committed
numerous depredations around their
house, even going so far as to steal a
yellow dog which adorned their back
yard and was the pride of their hearts.
Last night they heard some one
prowling around the yard, and, at the
Bradley's suggestion, his wife, armed
with a large Colts revolver, opened
the front door and started on tour Of
investigation. She observed tramp,
and, without any further ceremony,
she dispatched two bullets in his di-
rection. When asked why she fired
at the officers her reply was that she
took them for "more tramps." The
guardians of the peace looked stag
gered, and, as result. the Bradleys
were locked up on a cha rye OF assault
with intent to commit murder. While
being searched, Bra ,ly showed fight
and refused to allow Collins to put his
hand in his pockets. 1t took quite a
struggle before he was subdued, dur
ing which his wife cried bitterly, say
ing between her tears, "Don't abuse
my poor husband. He is innocent.
did the shooting" The tramp gave
the name of James Flyn, and he was
detained as witness.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
Acceptance OF the Resignation Of
Rev. II. w. Dorsey.

At the close of the regular service
yesterday morning. the committee ap,
pointed to draft resolutions expressive
OF the feelings of the society in ac-
cepting the resignation of the pastor
reported the following, which were
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, Our beloved pastor, Rev
p. w. Dorsey, who has so faithfully
and acceptably served this church foi
the last six years, has been compelled
by threatened physical disability OF
himself, and by the almost complete
prostration of his noble wife, who,
throughout these six years, has ever
been foremost in every department OF
our ladies' church work, to resign his
pastorate, and retire for time from
the ministry.
Resolved, That, in accepting the
resignation of Brother Dorsey, we
recognize the loss OF the main factor
that has raised the First Baptist
Church of Los Angeles from position
of weakness and obscurity to that
which it now occupies.
That, through the trials and strug-
giles of the last six years, Brother and
Sister Dorsey, by their noble self
sacrifice and willingness to take upon
themselves the heaviest burdens,
have ever set us worthy example,
and inspired our tainting hearts to
persevere in every good work.
That, In the retirement OF the Rev.
p. w. Dorsey from the ministry, not
only this church, but the Baptist
cause throughout the entire State sus-
tains a great loss, and we pray that a
season of rest and travel may enable
him to return with renewed powers to
the active work of the ministry, in
which his labors have been SO
abundantly blessed.

POMONA, september III.
EDIToRs HERALD: Pomona can
probably to-day make the best show
ing in building matters above every
other town in the county, and there
are several contemplated improve
ments in the same line that will be
made known shortly to the public
Among the former we might mention
$4,000 hotel, two elegant bank
buildings, two large lodging houses,
and almost countless numbers of
dwellings,. There is scarcity of
houses for rent, and one of the best
openings in the way OF an investment
would be the construction of a large
number of houses which could be let
at reasonable rates.
Pomona is a town of churches, and
the Presbyterians are making ar
rangements to enlarge their present
building to more than double its
present capacity.
The Pomona Baseball Club is get
ting into practice for the winter sea-
son, and expects to make Il trip to
San lego county the latter part of
the present month. A series of
games will also be arranged with the
Los Angeles aggregation.
The committee appointed to solicit
fruit to advertise Pomona at st. Louis
is meeting with splendid success.

tions. 1t is one of the largest and
finest in the State.
Rivera, the man who shot fellow
Spaniard here two weeks ago, had his
preliminary examination before Justice
Wright yesterday and to-day, and was
bound over to the Superior Court.
1t looks as if all the four chartered
street railways of Pomona will COM
mence work Immediately and be COM
pleted at the came time. AS they all
are to be constructed in their own par
ticular localities the town will be the
gamer and there will be no disputes
over the possession of streets and ave-
nues.
Work is being pushed on the gas
works, and the town will have an ad-
ditional supply OF "gas" by Christ
mas. (No reference is intended to the
ne spaper men or the local real estate
age y.
M re strangers are coming in than
it is possible to keep track of, and the
sale OF town lot generally means the
erection of new home.
Every visitor to Los Angeles should
come to Pomona and take look at
this valley before making a location.
The advantages offered for homes as
we'll as investment for profit are many.
Our artesian wells should be seen to
be thoroughly appreciated.

Somewhat Angry.

Somewhat Angry.
Yesterday when j. Harry Conlan,
the best known decorator in Southern
California and one of the most famil-
lar figures on the streets of Los Ange-
les, returned from a weeks visit to
San Francisco, his ears were rudely
assailed by the newsboy's shrill cry Of
"ere's yer Mornin' Times; all about
the skippin' out of Dude Harry Con-
LAMP Harry bought a Times and
found the startling information therein
that he had mysteriously disappeared
that he had skipped; that he had
taken refuge in flight, ETC., etc. Mr..
Conlan says that he went to San Fran
cisco to engage more workmen for his
business, as even with his large force
he is unable to fill the orders that
press in upon him. Harry says that
he sent word to his foreman that he
was going, but the word failed to
reach him. He feels somewhat ag-
grieved at the statement in the Times
and says that to-day he will sue that
opulent corporation for $50, 900 dam
ages.

The Shell Game.

Deputy Sheriff Phil Traub went to
Ballona Harbor yesterday and dis
covered three men on the beach
manipulating the "shell" game.
They had managed to take in
considerable money from the
crowd when detected. They were
brought in to the city and lodged at
the county jail, where they gave the
names OF John Martin, George Nor.
rell and William Smith. They will
appear before Justice Taney this
morning and have the amount of thei,
bail fixed.
